If I wanted to memorize a bunch of random shortcuts and gestures to do basic tasks I’d use MacOS.

I just got a Mac for work. The hotkeys are definitely worse

im meant to use a Macbook for work. I don’t. I sign into it whenever they complain I haven’t signed into it and go straight back to using my old computer I formatted for work. it doesn’t even support two screens!

Mx series MacBooks are a non starter for work since they only support a single external monitor like it’s 2002.

Even the Mx Pro series MacBooks don’t support Multi Stream Transport, so are limited to only outputting two displays.

I miss Windows.

After using both (windows personal , Mac work) , I personally find the hot keys more intuitive in some areas and worse in others. Command being the requirement for a lot of shortcuts makes it easier , but stuff like show desktop or lock were annoying until more recent versions.

My point was that MacOS requires you to remember a bunch of shortcuts for basic things that Windows handles naturally. Like want to know what Windows you have open? On Windows you can tell that front the taskbar, on MacOS you have to remember a shortcut.

That’s fair. The dots under the application in the dock let you know what is open. I find expose easier to use because you can see them all at once like you can do on windows. I only look at the dock to see what’s open on windows, and I alway group them which is probably why the Mac setup works for me

Bro you just need 6 for 99% of the cases Alt F4 Ctrl C / V Win D Ctrl alt Del Alt tab
Show threadZiixeFeb 17, 2024
Nd maybe Ctrl Z/Y (depends on layout with this one) to Undo and Redo
Show threadBlankFeb 17, 2024
The Ctrl+X menu is the bomb.
Show threadBlankFeb 17, 2024
Also see Win+E and ctrl+w
Show threadfunkless_eckFeb 17, 2024

Win+V / Win+Shift+V / Ctrl+Shift+V for text manipulation

Win+[1–9] to launch apps or alt+space (might require powertools)

win+ctrl+d win+ctrl+[⬅️/➡️] for VDs
